Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiModemII modem. You have acquired one of the finest

intelligent data/fax modems available today from one of the world’s oldest modem manufacturers: Multi-

This modem supports two-wire and/or four-wire leased lines. The four-wire leased line includes the dial

backup and automatic leased line restoration features. Please note that, because leased-line operation

consists of two client modems connected to each other, the maximum leased line data rate is 33.6K bps.

The MT5600BA-V.92 modem supports both two-wire and four-wire leased lines.

The MT5600BA modem supports a two-wire leased line.

The MT5600BL modem supports a four-wire leased line.

The MultiModemII offers interactive automatic dialing. You can store four command lines or telephone

numbers of up to 30 characters each in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. The modem pulse- or tone-

dials, and recognizes dial tones and busy signals for reliable call-progress detection. It can also detect

AT&T calling card tones. It is FCC-registered for connection to telephone networks without notification to

the telephone company.

The MultiModemII front panel includes a liquid crystal display and four buttons, which together can be

used to either display the current connection status of the modem or to configure the modem. The

MultiModemII also can be configured through standard AT commands.

Test the modem by turning it on (a power switch is located on the front panel). When you apply

power, the modem performs a diagnostic self-test, indicated by the TM indicator lighting for a few

seconds, after which the LCD should light. If this does not happen, check that the power switch is

on, the power transformer is solidly connected, and the AC outlet is live. If these measures do not

work, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

When your new modem replaces another modem, the old modem driver remains in Windows, and the

old modem driver is still selected in HyperTerminal and other Windows applications. Though you can

change the application connection descriptions one at a time, it is easier to force Windows applications to

use the new modem by removing the old modem driver from Windows.

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Modems icon to open the Modems Properties dialog box.

3. In the list box, select the old modem.

4. Click Remove, and then click Close.

5. The next time you dial a HyperTerminal connection, it will select your new modem and ask you to

confirm the selection.

The MT5600BA-V.92 modem is a global modem - it can be used all over the world.

However, countries or regions vary in their requirements for how a modem functions. Therefore, you

must configure yours to match the defaults of the country or region in which you are using it. Choose

from any of the three methods:

• Using the LCD Panel to Set Your Country or Region Code

• Using the Global Wizard to Set Your Country or Region Code

• Using AT Commands to Set Your Country or Region Code

appears. Click Next.

3. The Global Wizard searches for your modem and identifies it. Click Next after your modem is

identified.

4. Select the country or region in which the modem will be used. Click Next.

5. Review your choice. If it is correct, click Next to configure the modem.

If you are comfortable using AT commands, you can use them to configure your modem. You

must enter these commands in your communication program's terminal window. You can use a

communication program such as PhoneTools. See Step 4 below.

How to Change the Country/Region Code

1. View the list of available country/region codes to find your country/region code by

executing the command AT +GCI? <CR>

Note: A list of country/region codes is also available on the Multi-Tech Web site at:

http://www.multitech.com/PRODUCTS/Categories/Modems/global/

configuration.asp#chart

2. Set and save the code by executing the following command:

AT+GCI=

nn

<CR> (where

nn

is the country/region code).

3. OK displays.

4. The code then displays.

How to Verify the Code

1. Type AT+GCI?<CR>

or you can use this command:

ATI5<CR>

Example

1. Type AT+GCI=B5<CR> to set B5 as your country/region code.

2. Type AT+GCI?<CR> or ATI5<CR> to verify that B5 was set.

B5 indicates the configuration is set for any B5 country such as Canada and the United

States.

Note: PhoneTools may or may not be included on the MultiModemII CD according to your company's

preference.

Data communications software gives you access to commands that govern how the modem operates;

that is, how the modem handles incoming and outgoing data streams, etc.

MultiTech includes a data communications software package (PhoneTools) on the product CD shipped

with your modem. In general, the modem will work with most data communications software packages.

1. Insert the MultiModemII CD into your CD-ROM drive. Allow Autorun to bring up the introductory

screen.

2. Click on the PhoneTools icon and choose the appropriate language.

3. Follow the PhoneTools installation wizard. No input is needed. You may choose to view the

“Readme” file and whether or not to run PhoneTools immediately.

Windows NT/2000/XP Note: During installation, an advisory screen may appear saying “FAX

capture driver installation” - this may cause a delay in the installation. This is normal. The

installation process has not failed or stalled. Simply wait a few moments until this screen

disappears.

4. After installation, you can launch PhoneTools either from a desktop icon or from the Start |

Programs menu. Typically, it’s not necessary to reboot before using PhoneTools.

Like any modem, your Multi-Tech modem operates only under the control of a communication

program, such as the PhoneTools program included with the modem. It also operates under other

general-purpose data communication programs, such as Windows Terminal and HyperTerminal. For

information on how to use the modem with the communication program of your choice, please refer to the

program’s documentation.

Your modem normally is configured through Windows or through the communication program you are

using. The default settings work best for most purposes. See “Step 4: Install PhoneTools” in Chapter 2 for

help in setting up your communication program.

You also can configure your modem either through the front panel or by sending AT commands to the

modem. The AT commands can be found in the AT Reference Guide on the CD shipped with this

modem.

LED IndicatorsLED Indicators

LED Indicators

The MT5600BA-V.92 has six LED indicators on the front panel that indicate status and activity:

Receive Data. The RD indicator flashes when the modem is receiving data.

Transmit Data. The TD indicator flashes when the modem is transmitting data.

Carrier Detect. The CD indicator lights when the modem detects a valid carrier signal from

another modem. It is on when the modem is communicating with the other modem, and off when

the link is broken.

Off-Hook. The OH indicator lights when the modem is off-hook, which occurs when the

modem is dialing, online, or answering a call. The LED flashes when the modem pulse-dials.

Terminal Ready. The TR indicator lights when a communication program is using the

modem. It means the modem is ready for an outgoing or incoming call. It goes off when the

communication program disconnects the serial port. When it goes off, a connected modem will

disconnect.

Test Mode. The TM indicator lights when the modem is in test mode.
